The sun and the moon rotate, and time passed, and it was already the spring of 172o. In a year, too many things happened. In the battle between Britain and France, the British had elite Hesse mercenaries as the core, and Adolf, the general who stood at the top of the era. Even though they were at a disadvantage several times, they cheered up and gained the upper hand again. The French sent messengers several times to get rid of Xiao Lin's troops and attack the British rear, but Xiao Lin did not agree.&1t;/p>

However, this does not mean that the British have been victorious. After all, the 30,000 Hessian mercenaries in the hands of the British first fought two battles with the company, and more than 12,000 people died, and then fought with the French. More than 7,000 people lost their combat effectiveness, leaving only 10,000, and they could no longer bear the burden. Most of the injured Hessian mercenaries have settled and taken root in North American colonies and are not planning to go back. The British used a fleet of more than a dozen explosive battleships to exchange for these 30,000 lords. In fact, they can be said to have belonged to the UK for a long time.&1t;/p>

Of course, Adolf could not say anything about taking his men to retreat. If Charlie hadn't always supported him, Adolf would not have enough power to suppress the British army. Adolf also surrendered to Charlie and became Charlie's absolute confidant. Charlie was quite self-aware and all his troops were handed over to Adolf to manage. This time, he kept suppressing the French, but his potential was still exhausted. In this colonial battle, the British army suffered 50,000 casualties, and with the 20,000 Hessian mercenaries, Charlie's power was still not enough to suppress the opponents inside.&1t;/p>

In addition, the continuous wars over the past period of time, the high-pressure and high-tax policies on the colonies almost caused the people to live in poverty. The civilians almost couldn't survive. Not long ago, civilians from a small settlement came together to kill the officials inside, instigated more than 100 militias, broke out of the colonies, and defected to the Yanhuang Trading Company. In order to prevent huge civil strife in the colonies, this war could no longer be fought. If they fought again, the civil strife in the British colonies would be uncontrollable.&1t;/p>

The British who had the upper hand were like this, and the French would not be much better. If the French had not relied on the revolver, grenade and canned military logistics services of Yanhuang Trading Company, they would have been completely defeated. Therefore, even if Xiao Lin had never agreed to send troops to harass the British, these Frenchmen would not dare to break up with the company directly. As long as the company no longer sells things to them, the French would not be able to replenish their strength, and would only lose their final territory and be completely driven out of North American Greater 6 by the British.&1t;/p>

Both sides have reached the end of their battle and are powerless to continue. Therefore, under the orders of the European mainland, the two sides began to prepare for peace. The colonies suffered too much loss and were not in line with the interests of the European mainland. Even if there was still hatred, they could not continue to fight. Therefore, the two sides officially began peace during the Spring Festival of the company. A month later, the peace talks were completed, the battle between Britain and France officially ended, and both sides began to cultivate their voices.&1t;/p>

Among them, the British were fortunate, at least occupied Quebec and gained more territory. The French not only lost their troops, but also lost Quebec. The army and civilians also killed and injured more than 60,000 people. Although it was less than the British, it was because more than 30,000 British people were killed and injured in the hands of Yanhuang Trading Company. In this battle between the two forces, there were about 30,000 Indians, and they were both Indians from the affiliated tribes of both countries.&1t;/p>

If there are still people who have benefited, then there is only Yanhuang Trading Company. During this period, Ijik once again brought 15,000 Asians to the company, of which the number of elderly people and children reached more than 4,000. The adult men and women reached 11,000, and even the first to come here with Lin Xin, the crimes who took the initiative to tell Ijik about the address of their village in the last action and took their families over.&1t;/p>

This thousand adults greatly enriched the company's strength. Because these Asians are all good at managing the fields. Unlike whites and Indians, the fields and crops perform very well in their hands. These people alone can produce food that is almost enough for more than 150,000 people in the company every year. In addition to the food obtained from hunting, fishing and trade, the company no longer lacks food. Everyone can make children vigorously and no longer fear of dying prematurely because they are not full.&1t;/p>

In the last three days of the first month after the Spring Festival, the company's last factory was established. This factory was the last arsenal supporting facilities and a bullet reloading factory. In recent years, the company has fired a lot of bullets, all made of steel from the 21st century. Although it is only civilian steel, it can be used as high-quality gun steel even in the mid-19th century. Therefore, if it is abandoned, it is really unwilling to bear to leave.&1t;/p>

However, the company did not have the ability to build a steel mill in the late 20 century process that could re-melter them. Even if Xiao Lin worked hard, he could only build a basic smelting workshop here. The biggest technology of the smelting workshop was to only practice civil steel from the early 19th century, which was not qualified to make gun barrels, and could only be used to build civilian tools, mainly agricultural tools. However, it would be even more troublesome to bring these bullet shells back.&1t;/p>

In the past, Xiao Lin had a limited amount of time to travel through the goods, and he could not squeeze out the free space for them. Later, because these bullet shells were separated, the ones that were put on blood in the box were only brought back. Now Xiao Lin completely lost the intention of bringing them back and repurposing them, and could only find a way to benefit from it here. Gunpowder is much better than bullet shells, and with the formula, it does not need to be made in the 21st century, it is the raw material. After May 1719, the company can collect and process it.&1t;/p>

Therefore, it is very necessary to reload a bullet reload factory. With this bullet garment factory, the company has established a basic national defense industry in Xiri Town. By the end of February, the company could produce 1,000 Yanhuang One-type rifles, 200 Type 17 pistols, and 300 ZL-1a heavy revolvers. There are 7.62 mm caliber bullet reloads of 10,000, and 11.2 mm caliber bullet reloads of 2,000. With the production, the total monthly output of bullets is 50,000.&1t;/p>

Although it cannot support a war of tens of thousands, it is enough to consume the usual training of the Manchu Guards. Speaking of the company's guards, the number of the company's army has now reached the level of three divisions, three divisions and ten brigades, a total of 33,000 people. Compared with the company's 150,000 people, the number is indeed very large, and the military-civilian ratio has reached an unprecedented one to five. However, the Third Division is not even a garrison division, it is just a militia division.&1t;/p>

The militia division is only equipped with Yanhuang rifles, ZL-1a heavy revolver, and a wooden grenade officially named QB-1. The wooden grenade is the company's latest product in 2019. As the battle scale increases, the original fuse grenade is no longer applicable. After all, it needs to be ignited before throwing it out. The soldiers have to carry a lighter with them. Although a lighter is only two yuan cheaper, it cannot stand the company and even the cooks will be equipped with grenades.&1t;/p>

Thirty-three thousand people, even if one person is one, it is still 667,000 yuan. Of course, this is a small amount of money, but since the soldiers learned to smoke, this consumption will be done every two weeks. The landlords have no surplus food, and having money is not better to spend it in other more useful places. Since the soldiers cannot stop smoking, it is better to directly turn the lighter from military configuration into a commodity. As long as the grenade does not need to use the lighter to light the fuse, there is no reason to give each person one, and the soldiers cannot say anything.&1t;/p>

The militia divisions are not completely separated from production and mostly separated from production like field divisions and garrison divisions. They are usually mainly responsible for farming and production with the ancient military soldiers and militias in the early days of the founding of China. Only in the slack season of the year will they organize basic military training. Unless at the last moment, the people of the militia division will not go to the front battlefield. They will only be responsible for maintaining order in the rear and acting as baggage troops to transport supplies for field divisions and garrison divisions.&1t;/p>

The field division is naturally Xiao Lin as the division commander, and the garrison division is his old father-in-law Xiong Ying as the division commander. The militia division is his other father-in-law, and Alger also serves as the division commander. After all, Alger joined later, and Britney and Nina are not like Pearl, and they have made great contributions to the company. Moreover, Alger is also the mayor of Xiri Town. The militia division is weaker than the field division and the garrison division in terms of equipment and training, but is stronger than the white army of this era. Therefore, in fact, when it is brought to the battlefield to fight against the white regular army, as long as it is not the elite on the front line, it can beat it.&1t;/p>

Speaking of which, after being beaten by the company so many times, Charlie really learned a lesson. He began to reflect on why he sent troops several times, fighting less, and was defeated by the company with great success. Not only did he lose troops, but he also lost countless property. He gathered all those who had experienced the battle with the company, summed up his experience and wanted to show the strength of the company's army. In summary, he believed that there were three things that the company's army was powerful, with excellent weapons, strong discipline, and finally a strong physique.&1t;/p>

He felt that he could imitate all these three things. If he wanted to have excellent weapons, he took out almost all his savings and set up a special award. As long as major arsenals can produce advanced weapons, there will be orders and bonuses. The orders will be paid first and then goods, and they will not be deducted or squeezed. This method greatly enhanced the British's enthusiasm for researching the arsenals.&1t;/p>
